28 Seg því við þá: Þetta er þjóðin, sem eigi hlýðir raustu Drottins, Guðs síns, og engri umvöndun tekur. Horfin er trúfestin, já, upprætt úr munni þeirra.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But thou shalt say unto them,.... Having found by experience, after long speaking and calling to them, that they are a disobedient and incorrigible people:

this is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God; who, though the Lord is their God, and has chosen and avouched them to be his special people, whom he has distinguished by special favours; yet what he says by his prophets they pay no regard unto, and are no better than the Gentiles, which know not God:

nor receiveth correction; or "instruction" y; so as to be reclaimed, and made the better; neither by the word, nor by the rod; neither had any effect upon them:

truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth; neither faith nor faithfulness is in them; nothing but lying, hypocrisy, and insincerity.

y ולא לקחו מוסר "neque acceperunt disciplinam", Schmidt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A nation - The “nation.” Israel holds so unique a position among all nations that for it to disobey God is marvelous.

Truth ... - Fidelity to God. Though they have the name of Yahweh often upon their lips and swear by Him Jeremiah 5:2, yet it is only profession without practice.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 7:28. Nor receiveth correction — They have profited neither by mercies nor by judgments: blessings and corrections have been equally lost upon them.
